Introduction
At Susie's Company, we know that each English learning journey is unique. Whether you are a professional wanting to shine in meetings, a student preparing for a stay abroad, or simply eager to travel smoothly, it is essential to identify your level of English to choose the most suitable training. Let’s dive into the world of English levels together and discover how to find the perfect course for you!
Why Is It Important to Know Your Level of English?
Determining your level of English is not just a formality; it is the first step to progressing effectively. It is about avoiding “too easy” courses that may bore you or “too advanced” levels that could discourage you. At Susie's Company, we prioritize personalized support because understanding your expectations and level allows us to tailor each session to your real needs, whether it’s acquiring the basics or perfecting your oral expression.
The Different Levels of English: From Beginner to Expert
There are generally six main levels of English, following the European CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). These levels range from A1 (beginner) to C2 (expert). Each level reflects specific skills in comprehension, oral and written expression. For example, level B1 allows you to hold a simple conversation, while level C1 makes you comfortable even in complex professional contexts. For a complete description of these levels and concrete examples, consult the official CEFR guide.
How to Assess Your Level of English?
Before choosing your training, it may be useful to take a reliable English level test. Many free tests are available online, such as the Cambridge English test, which offers a quick and fun first estimate. At Susie's Company, every new journey begins with a kind and stress-free assessment to better target your goals. This assessment can be done during the discovery interview or through a private lesson online or in-person in Bordeaux.
Which Course to Choose According to Your Level of English?
- Beginner (A1-A2): Starting from scratch or almost? Opt for English for beginners, with concrete situational practices and solid foundations in grammar and vocabulary.
- Intermediate (B1-B2): You understand everyday English but lack confidence in speaking or during meetings? Courses focused on professional conversation are made for you. We adapt the themes to the context of your company or studies.
- Advanced (C1-C2): You are already comfortable but want to gain nuance and spontaneity? Our personalized sessions help you explore complex topics, refine your presentations, or prepare for an international interview.
